Hi
Hopefully, some one can help me with this issue. I am trying to implement a global site and hence was looking for a way to detect user location. I do not want to use any ip2location webservice or download a database or ask for user to "share location".
Anyways, I found this project. I implemented it , it detects my location correctly (US). However for my friend in Germany it is returning an empty string for Country.
http://javainetlocator.sourceforge.net/. I am using jar file from here. http://sourceforge.net/projects/javainetlocator/files/ with version 2.23
I am using CF 11 and my code is on
PLEASE SUGGEST ME
<cfset ipAddress=cgi.REMOTE_ADDR>
<cfset geoLocator=createobject("component","remoteClassPath_geoLocator")>
<cfset Ok=geoLocator.init()>
<cfset thisLocale=geoLocator.findLocale(ipAddress,cgi.HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE)>
<cfset thisCountry=geoLocator.findCountry(ipAddress,cgi.HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE)>
<cfset thisLanguage=geoLocator.findLanguage(ipAddress,cgi.HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE)>
<cfset thisC=geoLocator.showCountry(ipAddress)>
<cfset thisL=geoLocator.showLanguage(ipAddress)>
<cfset bLocaleValid=geoLocator.isValidLocale("fr_RU")>
<cfif ok>
<cfoutput>
<b><h2>Not your grandmother's geoLocator Remote</h2></b>
<hralign="left"width="30%">
